A hard cut popcorn limiter is a device whose function is to modify the behavior of a diesel car when the engine hits the RPM limiter, and also modifies the sound it generates. This is done since almost all standard diesel vehicles will reach the preset RPM limiter and will remain at that exact RPM until the driver intervenes, that is, the soft cut limiter. With the integration of a hard cut popcorn limiter, the engine will bounce in the limiter similar to a gasoline vehicle (hard cut limiter) by cutting the fuel injection at maximum RPM.
